Black Sail by Nautica Fall 2014 at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week

Nautica Fall 2014 is inspired by images of the frozen tundra, introducing modern performance fabrics and blending matte and shine in icy tones contrasted with deep mineral shades. The collection includes insulated fur trimmed parkas and functional pants such as pleated tech trousers, wool cashmere knit pants and wool mix sweat pants and a standout waxed cowhide cargo.

Several of my favorites include the asymmetrical zipfronts, mohair mix shawls and cashmere thermal cardigans. The looks have more of an urban luxe feel, with sweaters, vests, jackets and pants all appropriate for cold-weather climates, like the snowy winter we are having. 

The runway show featured hair by Jon Reyman for Aveda, makeup by Janessa Pare for Aveda, shoes by Palladium & Vans and ski goggles by Zeal Optics.

Caravan Stylist Studio Gifting Suite

On June 20th, I returned to Caravan Stylist Studio at The Carlton Hotel to checkout the Summertime Gifting Suite, which featured glasses.com, LeSportsac, Nautica beach towels, swimwear by Cielo Rosso, sundresses by Bobi, flats by Oka B, jewelry by Joanna Laura Constantine and eBay x CFDA "You Can't Fake Fashion" totes. It was also great learning about Emma Bell's (played Andrea's sister, Amy, on The Walking Dead) project with Seeds of Change. Love the necklace that came with the organic seeds! 

I excited to learn about glasses.com, who will be launching their 3D Virtual Try-On iPad app within the next few weeks. It was fun to try it out the app, using the iPad's camera to create a 3D model of my face to try on and view more than 100 frames in less than a minute. The 3Dfit technology also allows you to view any frame from any angle, perfectly scaled to your face. You can also compare frames using side-by-side images, save your favorite styles or send the images to family and friends. Glasses.com carries a wide range of styles, from retro chic to modern classics. I wear both eyeglasses and sunglasses, so it was great to see a lot of my favorite brands available, including Oakley, Burberry, Chloe, Derek Lam, Versace, BCBGMAXAZRIA, Guess and Roberto Cavalli, plus shipping is free! I've been obsessing over rose gold lately, so the Oakley Daisy Chain sunglasses are my favorite pair! Can't wait to get those!

Caravan Stylist Studio is a full service wardrobe and beauty studio, connecting media, VIPs and celebrities with top designers and beauty brands. Caravan has fabulously gotten me photo shoot-ready and has gorgeously prepped celebrities for red carpet events, premieres and upfronts. 

At the studio, celebrity nail artist Sunshine, accented my nails with Zoya nail polish and Valerie Star styled my hair with BaByliss Pro styling tools and Salon Grafix hair products. Thank you again to Claudine, Valerie and Tide Pods for inviting me back! 

Here's a look at my visit to the Caravan Stylist Studio Gifting Suite

Nautica Fall 2011

The Fall 2011 Collection is inspired by the Sleeping Bear Dunes region of Lake Michigan, part of America's Great Lakes region.

The palette consists of navy, grey, white, neutral camel/khaki tones and a pop of orange, paying homage to the Coast Guard.

Some of the pieces include blue or red cotton plaid buttondowns, cotton turtlenecks, wool toggle coats, pants and ties that are very wearable, especially when layered together.
